You've been reading too many Hal LIndsay and Tim LaHaye novels and movies.
I’ve never seen such movies or read such books by Lindsey or LaHaye..
If all of us are killed during the "great tribulation",
“all” do not die during the 21 Judgements of the Last days Tribulations sent down from Heaven.
then who is it that Jesus will actually 'rapture' off the earth that remains alive to the day of His coming?
Jesus’ coming and Jesus’ Return are not the Same thing.
Jesus’ Coming is TO the Clouds.
Jesus’ Return is TO the Earth.
“Rapture” is “exclusively” Christs’ Church meeting Lord Jesus IN the Clouds…and SHALL return to Earth “with Him”.
And per what Jesus said in Matthew 24:29-31 about the time of His coming to gather His saints, He definitely showed it will be after the tribulation, so that means the Church will... go... through... the... "great tribulation".
After the Tribulation of “those days”…ie The Seals.
Then does The “Lamb of God” Gather together…the “ELECT”…and the “Elect” are identified as the Tribes of Israel.
And where they ARE GATHERED…
My Sion.
Matt 24:
[
29] Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
[
30] And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
[
31] And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Rev 14:
[
1] And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount
Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Christ Church is not mentioned being present on Earth during the Tribulations sent from Heaven.
Because Christs Church is Exclusively revealed to have escaped being subject to Gods negative Judgements and Wrath.
Glory to God,
Taken
